Very nice Simon, Is this one going in the dinning room, where your present tank is? Love the external overflow. No more sump in the basement?

Thanks Doug. Yes this one will replace the 90g in the dining area

The sump is staying the same in the basement; i have put a 30g breeder under the display as a dedicated SPS frag tank and have built a closed loop for the flow. The Dart pump only just fits in the space on the right ...

BTW How are you getting on with the Zeo supplements? Have you decided to try the full system yet?

Simon..

No full zeo yet. Have to move in 40 days. Not looking forward to that. Maybe after the move. But tank is doing well right now. Doug

What a week..

After a 2 days of plumbing and a few minor leaks I finally made the transfer to my new tank. I started the aquascaping yesterday morning 8am and finished placing the corals at 11pm. I never want to put my hand in a fish tank ever again

Everything thus far looks ok, although a few colors have faded which was enevitable with the stress; and the lack of heaters mean't a few corals got a little colder than i would have liked

Anyways; all done and wow what a difference. Really pleased with the closed loop and how quiet the dart pump is and now i have soooo much more room around the back and front for more corals

That looks friggin incredably awesome. Question though, does your sump have no divider's in it? Do you have a picture of the tank complete with the supm door's open?
